lrange(n) Tcl (7.4) lrange(n)
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list
SYNOPSIS
lrange list first last
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a
new list consisting of elements first through last,
inclusive. First or last may be end (or any abbreviation of
it) to refer to the last element of the list. If first is
less than zero, it is treated as if it were zero. If last
is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the
list, then it is treated as if it were end. If first is
greater than last then an empty string is returned. Note:
``lrange list first first'' does not always produce the same
result as ``lindex list first'' (although it often does for
simple fields that aren't enclosed in braces); it does,
however, produce exactly the same results as ``list [lindex
list first]''
